Joel,

When I tried that, I get a variable not defined error.

When I try to Dim the variable C, what should I declare it as?

Now you can find the row by using c.row

The code below doesn't produce errors. I changed Me.txt_GoToTask becasue it
wasn't ddefined on my pc.
Sub cmd_GotoTask_Click()

Dim C As Range
Dim mycolumns As Range

With Sheets("sheet1")

'Execute the find
Set mycolumns = Columns("A:A")

'Search the Task# column for the entered value
Set C = mycolumns.Find(What:="abc", _
After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not C Is Nothing Then
intRowPointer = C.Row
Call FillControls
Else
MsgBox "Task not found"
End If

End With

End Sub

Joel,

The problem was with the After:= parameter, since I didn't have an active
cell in that sheet, it was causing a problem, when I changed that to
".Cells(1,1)" it worked perfectly.

Thanks
